"Thanksgiving is a day when we pause to give thanks for the things we have. Veterans Day is a day when we pause to give thanks to the people who fought for the things we have."

Today, Downey held its annual Veterans Day celebration to honor and pay tribute to our veterans. The celebration was filled to overflowing and featured several speakers, including Capt. Victor Shen of the U.S. Army (right) and Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, on the subject of how we can continue to support our veterans after they return home.
